XTRONS Android 14 Car Stereo for Honda Accord 7th 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007, 10.1 Inch Touch Screen Head Unit GPS Navigation Bluetooth Built-in DSP 4G LTE Wireless CarPlay Android Auto (4+64GB)

Purchased this unit for my cherry '06 Accord ELX after considerable research on the various "look alike" units. At first I was disappointed as the AC controls would NOT play nice with my dual automatic AC system. I had NO Auto OR Dual button capability or system functionality. In addition the right side of the car was blowing full hot irrespective of the temp that was set by either knob. This being an Android 10 system and a relatively new headset to the market, there was ZERO online advice. I suspected that there had to be some hidden settings, but no where was how to get to them documented. I finally contacted XTRONS via Amazon and they responded with EXACTLY the needed into within 24 hours. The trick is that you have to go into "Car Infotainment, then selected the settings (gear symbol upper right corner"), then enter 8888 to get to the hidden settings page, then select CAN Type. REGARDLESS, I repeat, REGARDLESS, of what it is showing, enter 75 as the type, then ensure that the Dual AC is selected. I actually had to do this several times before the car and the AC control clicked and everything worked perfectly. This back page is ALSO where you can set the temperture UNIT to either Centigrade or Fahrenheit. One thing I have noticed is the indicated temp on the display when it is showing the AC page, are sluggish to register changes to the temperature setting BUT the AC system itself responds immediately. The next time you enter that page of info the temps shown reflect where the system is presently set. A minor glitch overall. I also installed the wireless Apple CarPlay module which works PERFECTLY! I installed the TPMS system and the Sony CCD reverse camera. I did install a small unpowered USB hub as the unit only has 2 USB ports and one is for marked for the mirror link functionality. The hub worked perfectly as it allowed me to easily locate the hub and the TMPS and CarPlay modules under the center panel mounted to cross members NOT the upper panel. I made use of the cross members for the system GPS module. FYI, this unit does NOT require a separate WiFI antenna as that is built into the unit. I might add that while this is a 2GB Ram, 16GB Rom, Quad core Android system , it is silky smooth even on the Apple CarPlay which is using WiFI for the comms link. The sound quality has exceeded my expectations. I was anticipating upgrading the speakers next along with separate amps and sub, but after hearing how well the 4X45 watt internal amp and the Honda factory speakers (at least the ones on my Accord) perform, I can certainly live with those speakers for the time being. The only complaint I have is the lack of installer docs availability online. Granted this system is not that difficult to install and configure, the lack of how to reach those hidden settings had me ready to return the unit. That said, I can't say enough nice things about the way that XTRONS promptly responded with the precise information needed to resolve the problem as well as open up all those other hidden setting for exploration.FYI, the quality of design and construction are superb and the unit looks totally factory once installed. The only nit is the inability to change the color of the backlight on the AC control buttons from red to something close to the Honda factory greenish white. Why they changed to red when not ANY gen 7 Accords used that color is a mystery.HIGHLY RECOMMEND this headset for anyone with a gen 7 Accord. Brings a great car into the world of touchscreen infotainment

PROSWhile the installation instructions are very lacking in essential detail, this is the most thoughtful replacement for the stock radio in a 7th gen Accord. It contains everything that you need for a custom fit. Even the placement of the antenna connection has been corrected in this version to be on the same side as the very short antenna cable. Everything has a place to plug in.The wiring harness needs nothing to work with the existing stock wiring which also comes with the can bus for steering wheel controls. The fit is very good and matches the many examples already posted leaving a little gap or space on the bottom rear which is not visible from the frontWireless Apple carplay works seamlessly after the initial pairing. Missing were the stock images for the many auto manufacturers that were present in earlier versions. (Honda logo).CONSI had previously replaced the stock rear deck speakers with Polk Audio DB 692. With the stock unit and with the Polks there is a decent “roundness” to bass that is not boomy or overbearing on the stock unit. The main issue I found with this unit is the adjustment of the sound. I have tried many combinations of equalizer settings, loudness adjustments and “smart bass” but cannot get the bass to sound anything close to the stock radio. There is a hallow knocking and rather irritating quality to how the bass sounds. However, I reverted to setting it to the lowest frequency setting and it is somewhat bearable. I might install an amp and sub later.For now I only hope that it lasts at least 2 years because my honda already has over 280K miles and while it still runs great it may be time to upgrade.Just over 1 month update. Today is Jan 15, 2024. The below was sent to Xtrons support this morning.I bought Android 13 Radio for 7th generation Accord with dual AC and everything was working fine. The screen start to randomly flash the AC screen when I was not on AC. Now the AC comes on but will not blow cold anymore. It shows temperature on the display but does not engage the AC. The Unit will need to be uninstalled to return to Amazon before Jan 31, 2024.Update 06/29/24 - I didn’t wanted to tear everything down to remove the unit so as of today, I have improved my star rating to 4* and am also pleased to say that I have been able to find a decent “sweet spot “ where the sound is decent. Also, the issue with the AC not working has sorta been eliminated, but not quite. When it misbehave I have to power down manually and then it works again. These are fewer and far between than the first few weeks after I installed it.CarPlay is working fine but glitches ever so often which is cured by a complete shutdown and restart. I have had a few times where while using the phone on long calls, the other person cannot hear me. When I disconnect from CarPlay, the call is able to continue on the phone. I am not sure what is the cause or specific fix but maybe it is the car shutting off and restarting when I go to use it again.I also purchase 2 years extended warranty on the new unit but don’t think the unit will last that long.
